    “FUCK CARS… wait where is my uber and my food delivery? Why is my Amazon late? But I wanted to rent a car to go to the pumpkin patch and to go to the airport to travel to the third world so I can feel superior!”

      As a non-American, how far does this strawman get his food from? A lot of food couriers in my city get by with bikes and public transit. Same with uber, do you guys not have trains? (Or buses)

        Tens of millions of Americans quite literally don’t have either of those things available to them for delivery services.

        A German ex once told me that “people from the EU simply cannot understand how large and spread out the USA is until they travel here.”
